Yonanas Maker Questions & Answers

The plastic tube that pushes the fruit out should work,I don’t understand how the unit stays in the Shute ,is the fruit thawed too much and therefore too soft?

It comes out now I keep it more frozen but a lot of fruit stays inside the cone Lots of waste but I scrape it off.

If power is on and on button is on and still not working I’d return it tho where it was purchased

Sure can any frozen fruit,I’ve used the frozen berries and mango from woolies

Sure can, I buy frozen fruit all the time

Don’t know,maybe u could put a bit of yoghurt into the machine when doing fruit but it’s healthy now with just frozen fruit

I’ve made small batches and put in a container ,I’d eat it within a few days,not long term as I tried banana and berry long term and it went discoloured ,like a brown,maybe air got in container,but we don’t have ice cream left in the freezer long lol I just freeze lots of fruits and do it as we need it

I've never had a problem turning it to take it apart unless maybe it has been wet when put away and has perished. I'd just force it and see, but yes it may break.

I agree it can be a bit hard at times. I just turn it sideways,lean it against me and hold the bottom part still and turn the shute part. It gets easier with wear. If its stuck spay a bit of cooking oil between the parts,that worked for me.

Thanks for your response. I actually sprayed it with some PAM cooking spray and it loosened it up.

Maybe soaking it in hot soapy water for a couple of hours will get it to come loose. If that doesn't work then try running your blow dryer over the the problem area and maybe it will come loose. Hope this helps you out. Best of luck. Andrea

The us model might be 110Volts and not with 220V in Australia?

Hi Penny, you could have bought a dud - it happens. Just return it with your receipt to the place of purchase and they should replace it. We've had heaps of use out of ours and when it's working it turns simple frozen fruit into the creamiest ice cream ever - hope this helps. Cheers, Beth

Yes id say u do have a dud.id return it for another one...have u checked its all screwed in properly and locked in

200 watts.

I'm sorry I didn't note the wattage and I've taken it back so I can't check.

Yes, we found it very useful, quick and tasty. Some bananas tast better than others (frozen, overripe sugar bananas are good), the big, long bananas were not so good as their taste tends to dominate rather than creating an ice-cream-like desert.

It is very easy to take apart and clean as no ingredients stick (no oils used); if you crumble chocolate into it, you'll need a brush for the blade part. Just try try the stadard one first. If you love it as much as us, you'll end up passing it on to someone else and buying the elite version later. Put in frozen cherries (Morello, from a jar), frozen mangos, peaches, anything you like but I recommend alternating a piece of banana between other fruits as it acts like a binder. Coconut flakes also. Dark chocolate thins (like from Lindt) best and you need very little. Keep them cool or freeze also.

Healthy deserts also!

As I recall from the manual, you are not supposed to add frozen cubes. I think it has something to do with the blunting the blades.

I've read u can freeze coconut cream the thick stuff that sits on top of the tin,freeze into ice cubes and thaw them a little first,so i guess thick cream and yoghurt would work also ,as for any liquid essence or liquors ,try soaking the fruit in them ,then freeze until use

I am not sure probably just the standard as there was only one choice when I purchased it. I am onto my second season with it and it still works fin.

The elite model is nicer looking machine with a stronger motor.

Yes we have put left overs in the freezer and eaten it some time later.

I had that issue a number of times. It's still as good but it will freeze solid again. So I have done is put them into a plastic cup and stuck an ice cream stick and there you are, an ice pole.

I've had no problems with mine and I use it almost daily. Before buying it I did read some reviews (another site) about the motor burning out if the fruit was too frozen. I put our frozen fruit in the microwave for 15 seconds before using it - rather than leaving the fruit on the bench for 10 minutes as the instructions say.

I think some of the machines are faulty, they must be, I followed the instructions very carefully, I didn't force the bananas through, I let them thaw for 15 minutes, and yet the Yonanas machine broke after three days of only making three single batches. The replacement broke too after just four uses I think. Both times I turned on the Yonanas machine's button, the motor made a very loud noise and that was it, it wouldn't turn on again.

I loved mine. Used it for years. Then I smushed too much too forcefully and the motor burnt out. It stunk to high heaven. But I’m gonna order another one because it’s worth it. My favorites are frozen banana and frozen mangos. Sooo good. Love this machine and have recommended it to many friends and family!!
